You’d be missing out on a locally bred treasure without seeing Phat Chance Trio live in their natural environment. Tallahassee born, the band brings a distinctive style to the table, including blues guitar, resonant bass riffs and a solid drum presence, delivering a spin on a classic rock sound. Making their start last year, the band fuses blues rock with gritty funk, yet still offers a refined sound. Members include Bryan Haines on guitar, Evan Tosi on drums and Jeff Snodgrass on Bass while providing vocals for the trio. Showcasing influence from artists like Led Zeppelin and The Allman Brothers, the trio can also be attributed to the style of the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix. Notable tracks include “Sympathy for the Devil (Lay me Down)” and “Fire on the Mountain,” which demonstrate their strong guitar riffs, pulsing drums and stout bass presence. The band will play at Rehab on Saturday, Jan. 12.
